The Roosevelt Historic Neighborhood grew from the 1890’s to the mid 1930’s, as the valley extended and grew with the influx of new residents. Unlike previous homes the homes in this subdivision resembled those of other homes around the country, not adobe.
Homes in Roosevelt had mostly narrow and deep lots. This is common for a street car neighborhood, remains of the street cars can be 
seen on the West side of Central ave. across from the Phoenix library.
The most common architecture you’ll find here is California Bungalow with some samples of Craftsman Bungalow and Period Revival. Each is unique and many have been carefully restored. Some of the common characteristics include wood shingles, porch columns, stone chimneys and textures exterior finished.
